Data analytics is rapidly emerging as a key to success in the new digital economy. To capitalize on this opportunity, organizations need to rethink the status quo and invest accordingly. When it comes to organizations and their data analytics journeys, a quote often attributed to Mark Twain seems especially appropriate: “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.” While data analytics is rapidly emerging as a key to business success in the new digitally driven economy, many organizations are just exploring or in the early stages of their data analytics…

Most companies recognize that they have opportunities through data analytics to raise productivity, improve decision making, and gain competitive advantage. Unfortunately, the majority of initiatives fail to move beyond the experimental stage, or analytic insights are not operationalized back into the business as intended. The causes range from inaccessibility to siloed data, time invested in continually gathering the data before performing analytics, and long lead times for resources from IT. Recently, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) reviewed Dell EMC Analytic Insights Module, which is engineered to smooth out these friction points in…

I love the Strata + Hadoop World Conference (renamed Strata Data Conference) and once again the 2017 conference did not fail me in anyway. I wanted to take this opportunity to give you a quick recap since I had the privilege of attending. I love how the keynotes are short and impactful. Wednesday delivered great insight from a conversation with Beau Cronin and Phil Keslin, CTO and Founder of Niantic. Another great session was from Rajiv Maheswaran from Second Spectrum. Niantic created Pokeman Go and some of the great insight that Phil brought…

The data analytics journey begins with an understanding of use cases and solutions that can help an organization unlock the value of its data. This is the focus of two new Dell EMC resources. In the course of my work with the Dell EMC data analytics program, I often talk with customers who are focused on extracting value from enormous amounts of data. That was certainly the case at the recent Strata + Hadoop World conference in San Jose. The conference center was filled with people looking for innovative…

By Brett Roberts with Debra Slapak We are literally surrounded by data generated from devices and other machines—things like the phones in our pockets, vehicle sensors, the ATM at our favorite spot, cameras on the street, even the thermostats and appliances in our homes. As consumers, we benefit from insights generated when this data is analyzed and put to work for us. This, ideally, protects us or makes us more loyal to the companies that provide better experiences or outcomes for us. Increasingly, business, government and non-profit organizations alike are…

Another Strata+Hadoop World San Jose is upon us and some of us are extra excited because this is the first time we are in San Jose as Dell EMC. I was literally on a call today going over the logistics and a couple of people could not stop talking about the event and how it will be great that we get to be a part of it as Dell EMC. We are incredibly proud of the way the merger has come together and all that we have accomplished along the…

The wide breadth of benefits from data analytics comes in many forms as companies embrace their data assets to affect their businesses and ultimately human lives. When it comes to healthcare, it’s easy to think there is no such thing as too much data. However, with limited time to address urgent medical issues, vast quantities of data aren’t always evaluated in time to uncover distinct patterns that could guide treatment. Partners Healthcare, a hospital system in the Boston area, saw the same issue and sought to bring better clinical care…

It was my niece Kajsa’s birthday in October. It was so crazy at work that I almost completely forgot to get her a gift. Please don’t tell her!!! My biggest problem, outside of forgetting, is the struggle to find a gift for an 8-year-old when you live in two separate states and you want to get get her something unique and that you really hope she will like. Shopping can be difficult and not many people like to do it, especially when you need to get something for someone else….

Guest Author: Patti Mizulo, Senior Director, Big Data Partner Program, Dell EMC So close and yet so far. That is often what it’s like when you’re trying to wrangle big data trapped in siloes and extract valuable business insights. It can take weeks or months using traditional methods. Chances are, your data sits on multiple systems across your company or even outside your data center. It’s probably in a variety of formats, both structured and unstructured. No wonder data analysts typically spend up to 80 percent of their time amassing…

The last week of September 2016, Dell EMC was a part of Strata+Hadoop World in New York City at the Jacob Javits Center. I was staying in New Jersey at the time and I had to think about all the ways I was going to get to the conference in the AM and home in the PM. My options were the ferry, the Path, the Path to the metro, Uber, there were a lot of options and a lot of things that I wanted to achieve. I would need to…
